Say Y here to get to see options for devices used with Macintosh computers. This option alone does not add any kernel code. If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.
Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) support is for support of devices which are connected to an ADB port. ADB devices tend to have 4 pins. If you have an Apple Macintosh prior to the iMac, an iBook or PowerBook, or a "Blue and White G3", you probably want to say Y here. Otherwise say N.
Say Y here if want your kernel to support Macintosh systems that use the Mac II style ADB. This includes the II, IIx, IIcx, SE/30, IIci, Quadra 610, Quadra 650, Quadra 700, Quadra 800, Centris 610 and Centris 650.
Say Y here if want your kernel to support Macintosh systems that use the Mac IIsi style ADB. This includes the IIsi, IIvi, IIvx, Classic II, LC, LC II, LC III, Performa 460, and the Performa 600.
The I/O Processor (IOP) is an Apple custom IC designed to provide intelligent support for I/O controllers. It is described at <http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/dev68k/iopdesc.html> to enable direct support for it, say 'Y' here.
Say Y here if want your kernel to support the m68k based Powerbooks. This includes the PowerBook 140, PowerBook 145, PowerBook 150, PowerBook 160, PowerBook 165, PowerBook 165c, PowerBook 170, PowerBook 180, PowerBook, 180c, PowerBook 190cs, PowerBook 520, PowerBook Duo 210, PowerBook Duo 230, PowerBook Duo 250, PowerBook Duo 270c, PowerBook Duo 280 and PowerBook Duo 280c.
This provides support for CUDA based Macintosh and Power Macintosh systems. This includes many m68k based Macs (Color Classic, Mac TV, Performa 475, Performa 520, Performa 550, Performa 575, Performa 588, Quadra 605, Quadra 630, Quadra/Centris 660AV, and Quadra 840AV), most OldWorld PowerMacs, the first generation iMacs, the Blue&White G3 and the "Yikes" G4 (PCI Graphics). All later models should use CONFIG_ADB_PMU instead. It is safe to say Y here even if your machine doesn't have a CUDA. If unsure say Y.
On PowerBooks, iBooks, and recent iMacs and Power Macintoshes, the PMU is an embedded microprocessor whose primary function is to control system power, and battery charging on the portable models. The PMU also controls the ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) which connects to the keyboard and mouse on some machines, as well as the non-volatile RAM and the RTC (real time clock) chip. Say Y to enable support for this device; you should do so if your machine is one of those mentioned above.
Support the front LED on Power/iBooks as a generic LED that can be triggered by any of the supported triggers. To get the behaviour of the old CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_BLINK, select this and the ide-disk LED trigger and configure appropriately through sysfs.
This option makes the front LED default to the IDE trigger so that it blinks on IDE activity.
This option adds support for the newer G5 iMacs and PowerMacs based on the "SMU" system control chip which replaces the old PMU. If you don't know, say Y.
This option adds support for older PowerBook's hotswap media bay that can contains batteries, floppy drives, or IDE devices. PCI devices are not fully supported in the bay as I never had one to try with
Say Y here to enable Macintosh specific extensions of the generic backlight code. With this enabled, the brightness keys on older PowerBooks will be enabled so you can change the screen brightness. Newer models should use a userspace daemon like pbbuttonsd.
Say Y if you want to enable legacy ioctl's on /dev/pmu. This is for programs which use this old interface. New and updated programs should use the backlight classes in sysfs.
Say Y here to include direct support for the ADB controller in the Hydra chip used on PowerPC Macintoshes of the CHRP type. (The Hydra also includes a MESH II SCSI controller, DBDMA controller, VIA chip, OpenPIC controller and two RS422/Geoports.)
Say Y here if you want to have ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) HID devices such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, trackpads or graphic tablets handled by the input layer. If you say Y here, make sure to say Y to the corresponding drivers "Keyboard support" (CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV), "Mouse Support" (CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV) and "Event interface support" (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) as well. If unsure, say Y.
This provides generic support for emulating the 2nd and 3rd mouse button with keypresses. If you say Y here, the emulation is still disabled by default. The emulation is controlled by these sysctl entries: /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode If you have an Apple machine with a 1-button mouse, say Y here. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called mac_hid.
This driver provides some thermostat and fan control for the desktop G4 "Windtunnel"
This driver provides some thermostat and fan control for the iBook G4, and the ATI based aluminium PowerBooks, allowing slightly better fan behaviour by default, and some manual control.
This driver provides thermostat and fan control for the desktop G5 machines.
This driver provides thermal control for the iMacG5
This driver provides thermal control for the PowerMac9,1 which is the recent (SMU based) single CPU desktop G5
This driver provides thermal control for the PowerMac11,2 which are the recent dual and quad G5 machines using the 970MP dual-core processor.
This driver provides thermal control for the PowerMac12,1 which is the iMac G5 (iSight).
This driver provides some support to control the front panel blue LEDs "vu-meter" of the XServer macs.
Support for the motion sensor included in PowerBooks. Includes implementations for PMU and I2C. This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be called ams.
PMU variant of motion sensor, found in late 2005 PowerBooks.
I2C variant of motion sensor, found in early 2005 PowerBooks and iBooks.
